...does the New Haven Register. Speaking of the race between the freshmen and the Scientific School in eight-oared boats, the New Haven correspondent of the Boston Journal says: "Contrary to all expectation, the freshmen won their race. The freshman coxswain, W. B. Goodwin of Biddeford, Me., will stand a good chance for university coxswain. He has had some experience at Exeter and weighs about one hundred pounds out of training. He steered remarkably well in yesterday's race. After the experience of last June, Yale will be glad to get a competent coxswain...

...into his work. The department of elocution at Harvard is at present weak. If students would in a body feel the necessity of making most of the facilities offered, we feel sure the faculty would be obliged to take steps in order to bring up elocution to its proper standing in the college curriculum. As matters now stand, only a few men go into elocution, and the sections are small. Even with but one instructor, a far larger number of students would find it much to their profit to make the most of the advantages now afforded in this branch...
